United had been watched by huge crowds wherever they played
and it came as no surprise when they broke the Loftus Road ground record for
their final game of their championship season as they finished five points
clear of runners-up Liverpool.

The game, with no pressure on Leeds,
became more like an exhibition match with United turning on the razzle-dazzle
for the benefit of the crowd, who appreciated their skills and were clearly
swelled by thousands who had come purely to see “Super Leeds”. It was also Don Revie’s last game in charge of Leeds United, as he left to
take up the post of England
manager and both he and the crowd appreciated the fine exhibition they put on
as worthy champions of the Football League for the second time in their
History.

Predictably Allan Clarke got the winner to take his tally
for the season to thirteen League goals and with a further three in Europe his
sixteen goals was second best to his striking partner Mick Jones who notched
fourteen in the league and seventeen in total.
